<p>ooo yay chances season is starting!</p>

<p>Now I remember why I stopped hanging out around here :)</p>

<p>I'd say about 80-85%. You need to boost 1360 and I'd also recommend taking fewer AP courses. Drop 1 or 2 of those courses. UVa will be much more impressed with a 4.0 w/ 3 AP's than a 3.5 w/ 5 Ap's. I would drop Enviro and Eng. Lit because they are only worth 6 credits whereas the other 3 are worth 24 combined. Besides that, focus on your essays and you should be golden.</p>

<p>i've noticed that the UVA board has few chances threads whereas other schools boards are inundated with chances threads. </p>

<p>anyways, i think you have a good chance to get in.</p>

<p>Take Math II, I know it's not required at UVA, but many schools see Math I was a sign that you can't do Math II. If you speak Spanish, take the SAT II, it's an easy grade.</p>
